The art of Indian Head Massage originated from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. The Ayurvedic approach to health is the balance of body, mind and spirit and the promotion of long life. Indian Head Massage was developed as part of the daily grooming routine in India. Champissage is the Sankrit word meaning “to have your head massaged”.
